‘It was very clear, it was the Good Friday Agreement and then they said some questions on Brexit and then they actually said if there was anything else, they would send another email, which they never did.’

The Dubliner cut the chat short after being probed about the Mahon Tribunal, which ruled that he had lied about receiving secret payments of £165,000.

The interview prompted fresh questions about Mr Ahern and his suggestion that he may run for the presidency, which was raised by Mr Sebastian, but he said that he is not worried.

‘I stood up, I shook hands with him [Mr Sebastian],’ he added. ‘There was no row, argument. And then they sent it off trying to get publicity for themselves.

‘It was very clear, my offices were very annoyed with them because I only have one person in the office. I went out of my way, broke my neck to do it for them. They just didn’t honour what was agreed.’

Asked what if he faced more questions about the tribunal, he added: ‘I wanted to finish that a few years ago. I did a whole hour on RTE, a full hour with Miriam O’Callaghan.

‘And I said: “That’s it I’m doing no more.” You can’t keep going back and back.’
